i dont like goldberg but he will help boost the ratings. i cant wait to see him fight the rock even though i hate both guys. i do hope he stays for a
while and has more skills then the rest from wcw outside of booker and lance storm

i think you have to give a guy like that someone big to take out to make him good again dont you remember what he did he put his arm throw a limo who
do you know that could do that he is a man that will be fierd in my eyes there is 3 big guys in wresiling that i would like to see fight austen brock
and golberge they are jaked maby stiner and triple h but hay goldberge is the man no dought about that

WCW were so desperate to snatch ratings and needed a huge gimmick... enter Goldberg. I like the guy, he's big, intimidating, has a pro sports
background and when you strip away the power he can actually wrestle. OK he looks like Austin and I suspect will use alot of the Rattlesnakes
character trates now he is a fully paid WWE member to ge over again but my concern is, where does he fit? Pushing the undefeated angle for so long,
which was some serious overkill, then loosing to Nash, he was built up too much and kind of wiltered afterwards. Will he be as much of a top drawer as
the guys already here, don't know. Fans are fickle, but Vinny knows what sells and will most probably work some good stories. For me I'm staying on
the fence until I can see where his character development is going.

People ask me if sometimes tensions in the ring ever carry over into serious fights in the dressing room. Not usually because nobody wants to fight
and get hurt -- and not get paid for it.

But, now and again, sometimes the best wrestling matches take place in the dressing rooms or showers. One such incident happened a couple of weeks ago
when Goldberg made some less than kindly remarks about young Chris Jericho.

Goldberg's wrestling ability often resembled the gorilla in those old Samsonite luggage commercials. He had a tendency to injure everybody he worked
with and took his own publicity a little too seriously.

My sense about Jericho, a local Calgary kid, is he's always been easy-going with an even disposition.

The one little thing Goldberg didn't take into account is Jericho was trained in my dad's dungeon. Although I'm sure Jericho doesn't pretend to be a
shooter, he does have a decent wrestling background.

As I understand it, Jericho approached Goldberg in the dressing room and asked him politely if he'd come out in the hallway where they could talk in
private.

Heads turned when Bill suddenly broke into character, bizarrely growling like he does on TV.

Goldberg suddenly gripped Jericho by the throat in a furious rage. The little scrappy Calgarian, who is nowhere near Goldberg's size, nonchalantly
wrestled him to the floor, clamping on a front face lock, which is every shooter's last resort and is comparable to having a bear trap clamped on your
head.

For the next several minutes, Goldberg did everything he could to shake Jericho off but no doubt all those long sessions in the dungeon paid off for
Jericho. He choked Goldberg outright on the dressing room floor, in front of everybody. A reality check for Goldberg that's been long overdue.

I know when I talk with my dad, he has a bottomless pit of these kinds of stories going back 50 years and I know he's gonna love adding this one to
his repertoire.

Maybe Goldberg should come up to Calgary and spend some time with Stu in the dungeon learning how to wrestle.

Oh come on Goldberg has no moves outside of that spear and jackhammer.Goldberg is a waste of time and space.If i was in WWE management I would get rid
of the big loser asap.And then I would use the freed up money to pay a real wrestler.Too bad Bret harts injured or I would bring him back

It appears that once Wrestlemania 20 has come and gone, we won't see former World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg in the WWE anymore. Right now, it
growing more and more unlikely that the WWE will offer Goldberg a contract that is anywhere near the one he's currently under. If he doesn't get the
contract that he expects, the general feeling is that Goldberg has no problems saying goodbye to the WWE and focusing on working in Japan.

However, Goldberg's drawing power in Japan is starting to falter and he is more physically injured than most people realize. Goldberg has told WWE
officials that he wants to finish and fulfill his current contractual obligations and hopes that by Wrestlemania, he has helped change some of the
negative perceptions that people have towards him in general.

So, at this point, we'll have to wait and see if the WWE will resign Goldberg, or if they will decide to forge ahead without Goldberg after
Wrestlemania.
